Contacts Stop Working

Has anyone been able to figure out the error with contacts error? My 2013 Moto X has an error every time I receive a call. It occurs sometimes when I place a call. I supplied Motorola with a captured bug report on the Motorola Feedback Forum as they requested and never heard anything back. I contacted Google as well. There are pages of complaints with others having this issue and others supplying bug reports as well and we have no cause or fix. Does anyone have information here?

Sync contacts stopped working

Recently, I looked for a new contact on my iPhone and it was not there. I then checked the address book on my MacBook Pro and found it. i then added a "test" contact to the iPhone and found that it did not sync to my address book. I sync daily through iTunes and do not knowingly have sync set up to any other source (Palm, Google, MobileMe, etc.). I have 10 groups in my address book, but only sync one or two with my iPhone. The key group is called "Sync Group."
While trouble shooting with Apple tech support, I noticed this problem:
1. After selecting my iPhone in iTunes and choosing the "info" tab and then checking "sync address book contacts" and then choosing "selected groups," the list of groups does not match the list of groups in the address book on my MacBook. I added a "test group" (not a smart group) and deleted a group but neither change is reflected in the list of groups.
Tech support could not explain this.
I suppose the fix will be to delete all of the contact from my iPhone, but before I do, is there a way to filter those contacts that were added manually to the iPhone? If not, those contacts might be lost.

I was hoping you'd say there was a tool I could run that'd fine the corrupt record.
Anyhow, I've tried the following and none of them work (i.e. they don't sync):
i) Adding a new group on my mac but it doesn't appear on my iPhone nor in the list of Address Book groups in iTunes
ii) Adding a new contact to all the pre-existing groups that register in iTunes / iPhone but none of them appear on my iPhone
iii) Removing a contact from a pre-existing group that registers in iTunes / iPhone but it doesn't get deleted from my iPhone
One thing that does work is if I restrict the groups to sync in iTunes then I only get those groups of contacts on my iPhone. The groups haven't been properly synced of course :}
That made me try:
iv) Setup syncing of just one group in iTunes; remove all contacts from it, and add a new test contact to that group but it didn't change the iPhone at all.
v) Try syncing each group individually (I have 7 as it happens) but none sync'd properly.
So I can't use the "what syncs" test to detect the corrupt contacts cause nothing syncs properly as far as I can see

Calendar and Contacts just stopped working

I have an odd issue creep up that Apple Enterprise support and I cannot seem to remedy, I am hopeful someone here might give me some insight.
Mac Mini Server, Running OS X Server 10.8.4.
A few users (no Open Directory)
Each user has their own contacts and calendars.
Each user can enter user and password to see server shares
As of yesterday each users account on their client Macs cannot access either contacts or calendars, the server keeps asking for the password within both calendar and contact apps, entering in the correct password still yields the error.
I have tried:
-resetting the password
-logging that user in directly to use the server be sure they can login, they can.
-resetting the password with must reset password upon next login checked
-reset all the services
-reset the databse for contacts and calendars via terminal
-removed keys from keychain
-looked at console and found errors, but they don't point to much
-restored the entire server from a TM backup when I know all was working fine. Did that and then accounts that were working no longer work, so it became worse
-apple is stumped, therefore I am starting phase 3 of digging deeper
Their suggestion at this point is a clean install of the OS which is a large undertaking and does not provide comfort as I am not sure what started this issue to begin with therefore it could come up again.
Any one out there with any ideas? I can provide more information if needed.

Yes indeed will do that. Another item I found curious is some accounts I deleted and tried to create them again but got an error stating that I could not create that account because there was another one with that name. I checked this in terminal as well but even there the account could not be found.
This am I restored from a TM backup from July 1st and things are smooth. Apple Eng suggested instead of putting the same calendar and contact account on each client Mac so that multiple users have the same calendar and contacts accounts in order to read and write to those, instead use delegation for multiple calendars and contacts. The PostgreSQL will work more effieciently with delegation.
Any experience with this?
I had a situation very similar to yours some two years ago (Server 10.6). Happened out of the blue as I was finishing setting up the server. All of a sudden the calendar and contacts stopped working. In their situation we had one account used just for calendar and contact. Separate credentials for shares etc, and no OD. I basically did everything you mentioned in the OP several times, hours on the phone w/ Enterprise Support. Even escallated to Engineering but nothing worked. Ended up doing a nuke and pave.
On the delegation versus adding each account thing. I've done both ways and never had any problems. In fact my production server has half a dozen separate accounts for major customers of mine. The only problem I have had is with my iPhone. For some reason it randomly stops updating an account so I have to remove and re-add the account. Does not happen on my iPad though.

Why do I keep getting an error message that my contacts have stopped working

Sometimes, I am getting an error message that says that my contacts have quit working. Also sometimes I can't use my phone because the same error message appears when I tap the phone icon.
Turning the phone off and on again sometimes helps, other times not.
I tried a reboot, but that did not seem to make any difference.
Help? Ideas?
Thanks!

I have a similar experience with getting the message that my contacts have stopped. Here is my experience in resolving the issue.
1. Phone: Motorola RAZR MAXX HD 24 GB of 32 GB free.
2. OS; Android 4.4.2
3. Message "Unfortunately, contacts has stopped"
4. Possible cause: Contacts stops working when either Verizon Cloud or Backup Assistant try to synchronize with their respective online storage systems. Also, neither APP managed to properly identify all my contacts. Cloud only backed up 13 of over 600 contacts. Backup Assistant Plus only backup up 360 of over 600 contacts.
5. Resolution: I disabled both APPs after clearing their respective cache and data. Then I cleared the data and cache for Contacts. Assuming your have a Gmail account for your Android device, Google will repopulate your contacts from the web based email account. So, nothing is lost and no damage is done. This was my experience.
6. Lesson learned: On my phone, and perhaps others, the Cloud and Backup Assistant are corrupted, or have bugs, and produce errors which interfere with the operation of Contacts when they try to synchronize, even imperfectly. Clearing the data from Contacts, and disabling the two Verizon APPS, resulted in restoration of the Contacts function.
7. Verizon's response: Verizon technical support pronounced itself mystified by the information presented here. So far, after two days, they have not responded with either a diagnosis or a fix.
8. My Expectations: I don't really expect Verizon to do anything at this point. I do have working contacts, and they are preserved via my Gmail account, so I have a working solution. It just doesn't involve Verizon software.

Ovi and syncing with Outlook stopped working after...

I recently upgraded to Ovi 2.2.1.23 and syncing of calendar and contacts stopped working.
The reason seem to be that when I try to connect to Outlook from the sync menu, Ovi freezes.
Everything was working fine before and I just upgraded Ovi, nothing else.
Any idea what to do? Ive tried to uinstall and reinstall Ovi but no change.

Gawd, how I love this Apple forum. At least microsoft has MVP's that come out and help others.
I too have this problem and I have Gmail and all my notes in my Gmail (on iPhone or iTouch) are not synched only those on my iPhone or iTouch.
The options i have for default account are:
Accounts
iPhone or iTouch
Gmail
I have notes in my Gmail. How do I get them to my iTunes?

Outlook to iPhone sync failure – Sync suddenly stopped working for calendar events but continued for contacts and notes.   Finally Fixed!!! SUPPORT TEAM – PLEASE SEE THIS – Complete explanation of cause and correction steps.

The issue: Outlook to iPhone sync failure – Sync suddenly stopped working for calendar events but continued for contacts and notes.   Finally Fixed!!!
SUPPORT TEAM – PLEASE SEE THIS – Complete explanation of cause and correction steps.
The cause: It is now clear what caused this problem. For years I had several “all-day” events in my Outlook calendar (birthdays, anniversaries, etc.). In May 2012 I decided to make some of them one hour events so I could add alerts to remind me of the event. I did this by dragging them in Outlook to the time I wanted and expanding them to the time slot desired and then adding the alarm.
The symptom: Syncing stopped working for the calendar but continued working for contacts and notes. I didn’t realize sync was failing until months later when I missed two very important phone calls, so when I noticed it the cause was not obvious.
The failed attempts: I’m head of a software firm and my calendar sync is a crucial to my business life so I took this on with a vengeance. From a quick look at events in Outlook and the iPhone I could see that the problem started in May 2012. Events before May were in both Outlook and the iPhone but events after May were only one or the other. Unfortunately I had changed several other things at the same time relating to other events so again the cause was not obvious. MANY calls with AppleCare proved them incompetent so my internal IT guys assisted trying many things. We tried a huge number of calendar changes and several versions of iTunes, iPhone OS and Office as well as both iPhone 4 and 5, all without success.
The fix: After 18 months of frustration, MANY hundreds of $ expense and MANY hours of wasted time I saw a blog that had a calendar sync problem and it indicated all day events were related. I changed the display of the Outlook calendar to the list view, added columns so I could see “all day” event check marks as well as times of events, sorted on the “all day” event column to move them to the top, and for all events that were “all day” events AND had a start and end time, I removed recurrence and then added the annual recurrence back…
After I fixed all events that had BOTH “all day” set and had a start/end time, I tried another sync. It synced for the first time in 18 months!
Problem occurred May 2012 – fixed Nov 2013

Hi, to remove dummy '_ModGrp' entries, rather than crashing the 'Suppr' key on your keyboard, you can use this basic VBA macro (launched for instance from Excel).
It will recursively remove all '_ModGrp...' folders
Sub RemoveFolders_Click()
    Dim oOutlook As Outlook.Application
    Set oOutlook = New Outlook.Application
    Set objNameSpace = oOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
    Call CleanFolders(objNameSpace.Folders)
End Sub
Sub CleanFolders(objFolders As Outlook.Folders)
    For i = objFolders.Count To 1 Step -1
        If Left(objFolders(i).Name, 7) = "_ModGrp" Then
            objFolders.Remove( i )
        Else
            If Not objFolders(i).Folders Is Nothing Then
                Call CleanFolders(objFolders(i).Folders)
            End If
        End If
    Next i
End Sub

The last several days I have not been able to access the dial pad. When I go to phone a pop up appears that says "unfortunatly contacts has stopped working." To remove the pop up you have to hit 'ok', the it goes back to the home screen. This also happens when I go to contacts.

You migh give resetting your NVRAM a try:

It's not Logic that can't find them, it's your Komplete apps, though if you did exaclty as you say I can see no reason why they can't.
Do you know where the apps installed them in the first place? I chose a non-standard locarion for mine, but I'm sure it installs sounds to your documents folder/native instruments/name of app.
Go into the prefs of each app and choose the library location button on the library tab and point it to the relevant folder in documents/native instruments and see if that works

I have Photoshop CS2 for the MAC and it stopped working on my MAC. I recently bought a new MAC, an iMAC. There appears to be no way to contact Adobe about this. What do I do? Ed

I have Photoshop CS2 for the MAC and it stopped working on my MAC. I recently bought a new MAC, an IMAC and it doesn't work on that either. There appears to be no way to contact Adobe. What do I do? Thanks, Ed

That because the activation servers were retired. Now for the good news:
Adobe has provided a non-activation version of Photoshop CS2 free of charge for their CS2 license holders.
Download the Mac version of Photoshop (not the suite) and copy down the serial number next to it. Do not use your original serial number or cs2 disc.
Download Acrobat 7 and CS2 products
Uh... one more thing CS2 is PPC only. OSX 10.6.8 has Rosetta to run legacy PPC products. 10.7 and above will not.
Good luck,

My Setting, Contacts and reminders has stopped working. I am on IOS5

Settings, reminders, contacts have stopped working. settings opens but locks up. Reminders and contacts open but there is nothing there.

Try the following user tip:
Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates

Anyone having issues syncing iPhone with Microsoft Outlook 2007? iTunes says it is syncing but it will not update calendar or contacts. It just stopped working a few weeks ago.

Anyone having issues syncing iPhone 3GS with Microsoft Outlook 2007? iTunes says it is syncing but it will not update calendar or contacts. It just stopped working a few weeks ago.

I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only person struggling with exact issue. I've rebooted, upgraded, re-installed, pulled all my hair out as nothing works.
The biggest dissapointment with this thread is that nobody seems to have responded with a solution.
And yes I've managed to pull together enough intellegence to tick the box "sync to outlook" in iTunes - still nothing man.
Definately does not sync from phone to PC and is very hit and miss on PC to Phone. In other words now running 2 seperate calendars - Not helpful Jan.
